![]() TV Envy: Did you get the opportunity to meet with any of the judges or contestants prior to taping? And we really wanted to give each contestant and each panelist time to say what they needed to say, and then it was the editors’ job to make sense of it in a show format. Robi Ludwig: I would say anywhere from two to four hours making each show. TV Envy: How much time did you and the judges actually spend together taping the episode? Having said that, when we look at the ability to change typecasting and stereotyping and discrimination, it can happen, but it takes being honest with oneself and really wanting to make that change. It’s almost like, inter-personal shorthand. Robi Ludwig: I think our natural inclination is to make assessments and quick judgments, because that’s what we need to do in order to categorize people and get through life. TV Envy: Do you believe that anyone can be truly free of prejudice, or are we always inclined to judge each other on appearance alone? And, after that, I said ‘no more – I’m getting too involved and I just want to learn as we go,’ so that’s what I did. And, I remember feeling a little heartbroken that everybody wouldn’t get a chance to know her in the way I felt I got a chance to know her. And she was one of those women who was voted off first, for some erroneous first impression. You know, they just struck a chord in me, and there was one contestant whose life was so interesting – she was such a fascinating lady. …I got to see the back story of each contestant, and I noticed really feeling for certain contestants. ![]() Tell me, did you know about the five contestants prior to watching the footage with the judges? TV Envy: I notice you seem very unflappable and poised in the episode I had the chance to watch. It’s based on very limited information, and what’s so interesting about first impressions is: it’s hard to negate them, because we really like to believe that our assessments are accurate and true, and to give that up is a very scary notion. Within thirty seconds, people make an assessment, and are judging who they think is standing in front of them. Robi Ludwig: Usually happens pretty quickly. In your professional opinion, how long does it take for the average person to form an opinion of a stranger, based upon a first meeting? TV Envy: Without Prejudice is about making quick judgments of people – something a lot of us do. Ludwig via phone for a one-on-one interview. After watching the compelling first episode, I got the chance to speak with Dr. Without Prejudice explores the political topics that cause debate among world leaders and legislatures today, and asks a question that many wouldn’t dare: can we judge each other, Without Prejudice? Judges are treated to camera interviews of each contestant, as well as some hidden camera footage that sheds new light on those vying for the $25,000 prize. Ludwig guides the footage, and the discussion that results among the judges, often listening quietly until her expertise is needed. Round by round, more information is revealed about each of the contestants, as they are slowly whittled down to only two.

I talked to that guy over a meal and he said that he had a change of heart.Famed psychotherapist Dr. so i had no idea that he was racist when i went out and met the judges. We had no idea what the judges were saying or doing or who they even were, for that matter. The edits don’t show that he came from his seat and hugged me. Myself and the other finalist were the only 2 contestants that got to actually meet the judges and when i met them, the polynesian guy had a change of heart and actually voted FOR me. They would go on to award the winner 25K.
